It was that time again. Main event time. Drako time. But, most importantly, time for the rematch between Drako Damone and Nuke Fusion.
A rivalry that has spanned more than a decade, one that was reignited at Backlash, and one that The Syndicate have made even more fiery recently.
Self Hell - While She Sleeps
Let's praise the love inside of us!
The same song that Nuke debuted and came out to in his win against Hiro Shin-Mozas comes over the PA system as the lights in the arena slowly shut down, one by one. As the opening riff crescendos the lights around the stage begin to flicker, before turning in to strobe lighting.
SELF HELL!
Stepping out from backstage walks 'The Redeemer' Nuke Fusion, wearing his new clean white attire, a massive smile on his face. The titantron behind him then lights up with those all-so-familiar words.
Can I be enlightened if my thoughts just don’t align?
I have imposter syndrome and I'm sensory deprived
I know I'm kind of addicted but I’ll never play that victim on myself
'Cause we all live in self hell!
As he walks towards the ring the strobe lighting almost makes it look like he's teleporting forward. One moment he stands at the top of the ramp, the lights flicker and he's now a step forward.
Everybody's got a wound like this
Everybody's got a complex deeper than it
Everybody's got their problems listed
How'd you think I write this? You won't get it
Everybody's got social sickness
Everybody’s got so sadistic
Everybody’s got toxic interеst
I'm no different
Heading down towards the ring, Nuke reaches out and slaps hands with adoring fans, posing for a couple of pictures on the way. As he gets to the bottom of the ramp he stops and looks up raising a fist in to the air to a huge cheer from the crowd.
The strobe lighting continues as he runs and slides in to the ring, getting to his feet and running at the turnbuckle, still giving the illusion that he's teleporting forward each time.
Let’s praisе the love inside of us
Let's praise the love inside of us
Let's praise the love inside of us
Let's praise the love, let’s praise the love
Take it as it comes, there's enough misery for everyone
The crowd were lapping this up, loving that one of their all-time favourites had returned to the square circle. Nuke stood on that turnbuckle and looked around the arena as camera phones flashed to get a picture, a true spectacle as the entire arena lit up.
So sadistic
You don't know my secrets 'cause I'm not a Gemini
I know when it's good it's so good, when it's bad I wanna die!
They said, "I'll give you something that will help you bend your mind"
I'm like "How can I decline, I ain't no social butterfly!"
The song really kicked in to a tempo as Nuke jumped down and carried out the same fan interaction on the other side, looking out across the sea of people as the cameras flashed again to get a picture of the WWFG Hall of Famer.
You're staring at the scapegoat
You're staring at the underdog
You're looking at the change
You're staring at the firing squad
Everybody's got a wound like this
Everybody's got a complex deeper than it
Everybody's got their problems listed
I'm no different
Jumping down again, Fusion walked over to the middle of the ring as the music continued to play.. but the lights turned off.
For a few seconds they stayed off, cameras flashing again. When the lights turned back on, Nuke stood there with his arms open wide, part of his entrance attire missing and now ready for a fight.
Let's praise the love inside of us
Let's praise the love inside of us
Let's praise the love inside of us
Let's praise the love, let's praise the love
Take it as it comes, there's enough self hell for everyone!
The music slowly died down as Nuke turned to face the entrance, ready for his opponent for tonight, an old friend and adversary. But, while waiting, all around the arena broke in to a chant.
Nuke! Nuke! Nuke! Nuke!

The lights in the arena dim down as Ain't About the Money hits the PA.
Ahhhh, ahhhh
Ahhhh, ahhhh
blue and white lights begin to flash while a thin layer of smoke comes across the stage and down the ramp. Flames spring up along the set and the crowd's reaction is mixed, though the boos seem to drown out whatever cheers remain.
If you know like I know say
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (you know like I know say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power (say)
Ain't about the money, it's about the power
An opening appears in the stage, and slowly the champion rises up on a platform, now accompanied by his new manager, Adrian Amaya. The World championship belt is clutched in hand as Drako looks down to the ring for a few moments before he finally begins to walk down the ramp, throwing the championship over his shoulder. Adrian follows behind him
Think about it, think about it
Ain't no need to think about it
Get that Money, keep that power
No they not the same thing
Money can be anybody
This somebody, that nobody
When it comes to power
Circle, super small and maintain
Money make em' do it cause of what you give to em'
Power make em' do it cause you told them to do it
Money make you fly, power never die, don't know why
Money can be lost, power never need an alibi
Blood thicker than the champagne
Power in my pride, power in my last name
"..making his way to the ring, accompanied by Adrian Amaya, from Saint Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 200 pounds, he is the WWFG World Heavyweight champion, Drako Damone!!"
Drako stops at the end of the extremely long ramp and look around the arena for a few more moments before he turns and walks up the stairs and into the ring, taking the championship back in hand as he does. He walks across the ring and steps onto the bottom rope, one foot on the second rope as he raises the title to the loudly booing fans. He steps down and walks to the opposite side to do the same.
When I'm in your presence you can feel the power
Even if this company was built from powder
Girls, kissin, on the couch, women, in the, shower
Surround, myself with kings, you can keep the cowards
Everytime I reminisce, I'm reppin' different bitches
Blood is thicker than water but BS is the thickest
Let the chain round my neck tell my life story
Born into the money but would die for glory
Get ready for the takeover, that face, lip and makeover
That case, that I break open, that great fifth like Beethoven
If you, wanna get it poppin', I can be in the team
Thirty-four, in a, rocket cause Hakeem's the dream
(Get it? They don't get it)
Drako steps down and looks around again. Adrian had followed into the ring, standing quietly in the corner as the champion does what he does
Oooh, we're makin' moves
You're only doing what my power let you do
You see that money isn't everybody's thing
When it comes to power, can only be one king
Finally, Drako removes his vest and hands it off to Adrian to hold onto, along with the title belt. As his music dies out, the champion mutters a few words to Adrian before he steps out of the ring to wait outsid

The ref watched and waited as the two men were now ready in the ring, as Nuke stepped forward with intent to the center. He looked at the World Heavyweight Champion in his eyes as he said,
"Drako.. are you ready for your redemption?"
Nuke reached out his arm, offering a starting handshake to the man that had previously bloodied and beaten him.

Drako scowls.
"Let's not play the savior role. I'm not here to make peace."
With that, the champion would slap his hand away. Some things may change, but his general disdain for Nuke Fusion won't be one of them

Nuke looked across at his hand that was slapped away and smiled, turning back to Drako.
"What are you here for then, Drako? Why did you accept my challenge? What is it that you want from me?"

"Punching you in the face is cathartic."
Drako saw no point in lying, and with that, he'd swing a right hand towards the elder Fusion's face

Nuke should have expected something cheap from Drako as the shot came in, knocking him back slightly. He smirked and opened his arms up, awaiting the next.

Drako has a score to settle. The one blemish he'd had as world champion this time around was a loss to this man. That bothered him. Despite the open arms, the champ doesn't trust Nuke, so he'd aim low with a hard kick to the gut this time

Nuke took the kick to the gut, doubling over and going down to one knee. He winced before looking up at Drako, a smirk on his face.
"Take your redemption, friend.. you deserve it."

"This almost makes me feel uncomfortable. Almost."
The champ would aim a quick kick to the face at this point. Whatever game Nuke was playing at, if it allowed Drako to inflict damage he wasn't gonna turn it down

The kick connected as Nuke was sent back on to the mat, landing in his back. From the canvas he spoke again,
"I'll only give you so many free shots, the rest you'll have to earn"

"Says the guy on his back right now." Drako mutters.
but Nuke is down and Drako is not a nice man, so he'd jump up and aim a double stomp to the abdomen. There's more than one way to make a man bleed, and no one said he had to solely aim for the man's head

It's at that point that The Redeemer would come to life, rolling out of the way of the double stomp at the last moment!
Nuke looked to get to one knee, keeping an eye on Drako.
"Years of hurt, I get it. You want redemption, you want revenge, you want me to feel how I made you and your family feel"

Unfortunately Drako only double stomps the mat. Probably fortunate for Nuke though.
"Does it occur to you that maybe this is more about the fact I hate your face? Family trauma is just icing on the cake at this point."
